Imagine seeking out British food in fucking Greece.

Susan, who has ulcerative colitis, said: "On a morning you could have toast, a hard boiled egg, or something in sauce. There was no bacon. For breakfast there was mozzarella and sliced tomatoes. There was no hot bacon or sausage.

Can I eat bacon with ulcerative colitis?

Spoiler: no, you should not eat bacon when you have ulcerative colitis. She was probably better off health wise on that vacation than she was at home.

What on earth am I even reading? 😂

The problem with vacationing in other countries is they're so full of foreigners - that woman probably

This is absolutely NotTheOnion material. It's refreshing and rare to see something SO fucking oniony. lol.

I'm the "father" or /r/NotTheOnion - building that place up to what it became. I've said before and say again that it's hard to run a subreddit like that - or community here - because deciding what's fun/weird vs. what is ACTUALLY truly "nottheonion"-y is hard. Truly nottheonion stuff is kinda rare. So it's always a matter of - do you want that one really oniony thing once per month, or do you allow more stuff that's less oniony?

Because articles like this one don't come along that often. lol.

My point is just that this article was a truly wild ride.

"Susan, who has ulcerative colitis, said: "On a morning you could have toast, a hard boiled egg, or something in sauce. There was no bacon. For breakfast there was mozzarella and sliced tomatoes. There was no hot bacon or sausage."

Oh no Mozarella and tomatoes? Atrocious. Funny thing is fatty and processed foods like bacons and sausage are in the avoid list for people for ulcerative colitis (so is dairy for some to be fair but that is more case specific I think).

A while ago I watched a YouTube video where an American creator gave the pros and cons of sailing in the Mediterranean. Since I only sail in the Mediterranean, I was curious to find out what the differences are between sailing in the Mediterranean and elsewhere. One of the pros of sailing in Greece was “There is a decent tavern in every small town/village.” The cons were “You can only find Greek (and sometimes Italian) food. No Chinese, no Mexican…”. My first reaction was WTF!!!

all-inclusive, £750 [holiday] ... Susan, who has ulcerative colitis

It seems like she should've confirmed with the agency that there would be food she could eat made available. Or maybe made other arrangements for her meals, maybe brought some snacks with her.

As someone who doesn't like Greek food I've come up with an easy solution to not liking the food somewhere: I just don't go.

A consumer rights expert has explained what you can do if your hotel on a foreign holiday refuses to serve you a full English breakfast

Fuck all?

Lord do I hate people like this... I once sat, as a foreigner, in a small Japanese restaurant when some American woman started arguing with the young waiter about not wanting some ingredient (might have been eggplant?). She was loud, rude, and entitled. The poor waiter spoke very little English and our Japanese wasn't good enough that we could help.

When you travel it's up to you to know the words of foods you don't like or can't eat. If you get something you don't like you politely eat what you do or order something else. Enjoy the cultural exchange ffs.

My favorite one of these is this from 2017: https://www.nine.com.au/travel/couple-thinks-all-inclusive-resort-wristband-covers-island-20170503-p5n9z3.html

In an embarrassing mix-up, a British couple holidaying on the island of Rhodes in Greece have walked out of a restaurant without paying – mistakenly presuming their all-inclusive resort wristband covered the whole island.

The couple were dining at a restaurant in town and stood up to leave without settling their bill. When they were stopped by wait staff, the confused couple showed their resort wristband – presuming that would fix the situation.

After an awkward back-and-forth, the couple finally settled their bill and left.

Slightly more concerning is that, according to local news source Dimokratiki, this isn't an isolated incident. The tabloid reports that the very same thing happened to the owner of the restaurant late last year – and isn't uncommon.

Oh no a vacation of falafel, baklava, and lamb.. Oh the humanity

OMG. I just remember my ex-MIL pulled this shit in Morocco. She ordered a salad expecting leafy green. She was given a salad of tomatoes and cucumbers. Didn't like it. Picked from our pates instead.

This would be so terrible. I hope no one ever does this to me, but forever. I would so hate to eat Greek food for all 8 meals per day for the rest of my life. That would be so bad please don't do that.

A consumer rights expert has explained what you can do if your hotel on a foreign holiday refuses to serve you a full English breakfast, after a woman got £100 from TUI because she couldn't get British food on her Greek break.

Planning a trip where meal options depend on what food the hotel one happens to be staying at serves sounds like a very limiting choice to make.

I'd pay good money to see her travel through Asia.

Wow what a terrible life Susan! Must be nice if that's the worst thing in your life.

Of course it's a Brit or American. It's usually those brand of white people that feel overly entitled to everything like the whole world belongs to them. The British empire collapsed ages ago, grandma.

You have the right to fuck off.

She added: "Is it reasonable to claim for a lack of 'English food' on a continental holiday? Probably not. However, at least one TUI customer has succeeded in claiming limited compensation for this alleged breach, although she has got to buy another holiday to use it!"

She found an angel at the bottom of a lake who gave her a mince pie and from then on it was her birth right.

What happened to her? (Wrong anwsers only)
